Herald of Steel

With summer ending and autumn fast approaching, Alexander soon got busy tidying up his affairs in Zanzan.

This was because he was scheduled to attend this year's annual pilgrimage, Jtaama at the capital Adhan at the invitation of Ptolomy.

Given his great triumph over Tibias, it was a basic courtesy to meet the king and 'obtain his blessings'.

As a matter of fact, Alexander was expected to have done this much sooner.

And this time, Alexander too wanted to meet with the king.

Because there were many things he needed to discuss in court too.

There was the matter of another Matbar (Marquiss) Kyuam coming to Adhania's sworn enemy Tibias's aid during Alexander's campaign, on which he wanted to know how to proceed.

He also wished to address the concern that one of Sybarsis's ducal families- the Kaiser family was involved in that matter.
